Judging from some of the delighted emails I'm getting, I 
    need to warn people not to get too carried away -- this 
    doesn't say that Saddam would have had a bomb in 2004. But
    it does say that he had all the knowledge needed to have a
    bomb in short order. And as we know he was looking to 
    reconstitute his program once sanctions were ended -- and 
    that sanctions were breaking down in 2003 -- that's pretty
    significant. However, perhaps even more significant, given
    that we knew most of the above already, is that the NYT 
    apparently regards the documents that bloggers have been 
    translating for months as reliable, which means that 
    reports of Iraqi intelligence's relations with Osama bin 
    Laden, and "friendly" Western press agencies, are 
    presumably also reliable.
